Credit Requirement to Participate in CRR Allocation

CAISO will require no advance credit deposit to

participate in CRR allocation

However, holder of the CRRs allocated will be

subject to credit requirements

Credit Requirement to Participate in CRR Auction

Bidding for positively priced CRRs:

– Credit deposit sufficient to cover bids – No credit margin needed during auction

Bidding for negatively priced CRRs

– No credit requirement to participate – No payment to auction winners until credit requirements for holding the CRRs are in place

CRRs will be paid at the conclusion of the auction

Credit Requirement to Hold CRR

Same credit requirement criteria apply to all CRR

holders

Overall credit requirement is assessed for the

whole portfolio of CRRs of each holder

– An option to consider: assessing credit requirements for each individual CRR, i.e. no netting. (will discuss later)

Two Components of CRR Credit Requirement

CRR expected value

– Credit coverage for the negative auction price of a CRR paid to the holder – A deterministic value determined in the auction process

Credit margin

– Credit coverage that recognizes the potentially volatile nature of the CRR – A percentile value determined on the probability distribution of the value of the CRR

Short-Term CRR Credit Requirement

Credit requirement of a CRR with a term of 1 year

  • r less

That is

Value CRR Percentile 5th t Requiremen Credit − = Value CRR Percentile 5th Value Expected CRR Margin Credit − = Margin Credit Value Expected CRR t Requiremen Credit + − =

Factors to Consider in Deciding Short-Term CRR Credit Requirement

Options: also consider 2.5th and 1st percentile

values

Criteria: a balance between financial requirements

and risk tolerance

– Too low requirements may increase financial risk

As CRRs are settled with other market charges, a payment

default by the holder could create a shortfall that would affect all net creditors in the month of settlement.

– Too high requirements may discourage participation and reduce liquidity and effectiveness of the CRR market

Calculation of Short-Term CRR Credit Requirements

Credit requirement for each CRR will be calculated Based on the CAISO LMP study data for the first

year

Actual historical LMP data will be used in the future Other ISO data will be used as references

Factors to Consider in Deciding Long-Term CRR Credit Requirement

Of the four options:

– Option 1 is the most conservative, and Option 3 is the least – The CAISO has preference toward Option 2 or 4

Criteria: a balance between financial requirements

and risk tolerance

– Too low requirements may increase financial risk – Too high requirements may discourage participation and reduce liquidity and effectiveness of CRR market

Long-Term CRR Credit Requirement Adjustment

Adjust no less than annually Account for change in remaining terms Reflect changes of CRR ownership Update expected value and credit margin based on

actual market operation data

Additional Credit Requirements for LT-CRRs Held by External LSEs

Maintain one year credit coverage for WAC

prepayment

– One year of WAC commitment is added to the EAL – No need to post additional credit as long as ACL is greater than EAL including WAC prepayment – Entities would then prepay the WAC on a monthly basis – Consistent with FERC April 20 Order

Compliance Measures for Failure to Meet Credit Requirements

Terminate all CRR agreements with the default

holder

Retain all payments due to the CRRs and resell the

CRRs in subsequent auctions

Retain financial security sufficient to cover default Exclude the holder from future CRR allocation and

auctions

Prohibit the holder from subsequently acquiring

CRRs

Market Monitoring and Mitigation Measures

FERC and CAISO market rules prohibit Market

Manipulation

CAISO DMM will monitor unusual activities in CRR

allocation and auction processes

For misconduct, the CAISO will

– Require disclosure of affiliations – Explicitly warn participants – Refer to FERC
